This won't be a long one.

Why do we insist on wearing and using wool, leather and fur?
There are plenty of alternatives that are just as soft, fashionable, durable, ect.

Just think, next time you sit on your leather couch, or walk over your sheepskin rug - an animal died for that piece of furniture (or decoration or clothing). A living, breathing, feeling creature died, just so your couch could be a little more expensive, or your rug could be a little softer.
